of the convention was the parceling
out CT Turkeys European possessions
to the advantage and aggrandizement of the
parties thereto. The excited denials of the par
tisans of the two powers only serve to intensity
the general belief in the Zeitung's statements,
and Count Andrassy and NJ. Tisza will unques-
tionably be called upon to explain not only the
circumstances which, in their judgment, brought
about the necessity or expediency of such an
agreement, but the apparent duplicity attending
its negotiation and confirmation. Already Count
Andrassy is writhing under the weight of criti-
cism which the disclosure has evoked, and makes
haste to beseech his imperial master to grant him
permission to make q public statement of his
case and remove, as far as possible the obstruc-
tions which Prince Bismarcks personal organ
has placed in the way of Austria's march to
Salonica, and NJ. Tisza will doubtless add his
quota of excuses. denials and evasions. Mean

The stairways are in almost total darkness.
Visitors have beer in the habit of carrying can
dies. Admission has been by permit from the
engineer officer in charge. Although the aim has
been to give passes only to those who seemed to
be orderly and decent people, the result has
shown that many of them have been both vile
and vandals of the worst type Many OF the
choicest carvings have been smoked up by the
candles. Many have been disfgured by pencil
ings of an outrageous character. Valuable
stones have been chipped for relics. and letters
have been carried off entire. Names and pict-
urss have been scratched the surfaces of some
of the most beautiful of these valuable and his

There has been an effort by those in charge to
detect those who commit these outrages. but it
has thus far been without success. At meet

the present force of watchmen, which can only
be employed to look after the building

that IL the admission of visitors is to continue

all the more delicate and beautiful of the pres

Canada Anxious for Reciprocity.

NEW YORK, May Am Ottawa special says
There is considerable talk among members of
the House of Commons on the question of CON-
merclal union with the United States, and this
feeling is largely due the manifest disposition
of the American people toward some scheme for
simple reciprocity. In the course of a few days
the matter will be brought before the Dominion
Parliament as . substantive resolution and a
division will be asked for. The entire Liberal
party. with solid phalanx from the maritime
provinces and Manitoba, are in favor of the
measure, and it may be calculated upon TO cer-
tainty that within a week, Sir John Macdonald
and his followers. who stand by party rather
than principle, will be driven to cover with their
national policy pet schema"
